Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Pad Set P/N:1553-1349-00
Designed to deliver a consistent pedal feel and responsive braking, the Dynamic Friction DFC 5000 Advanced ceramic front brake pads, part number 1553-1044-00, are a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2019 Ford Escape, 2018-2022 Ford EcoSport and 2013-2018 Ford C-MAX. This disc brake pad set draws on selected original equipment manufacturer formulations, with friction material formulated for each axle on every vehicle it covers.
Front brake pads press against the rotors when you apply the brakes, creating the friction that slows and stops the vehicle. As the friction material wears down, braking performance can change. Signs your pads may need replacing include squealing or grinding when braking, longer stopping distances, and visibly thin friction material. For engine details and the complete application list, see the Buyer's Guide tab.
